  1. I didn't see much Native American history in my classes. We have to educate ourselves. I started learning about Native Americans from Ken Burns' series "The West." From that, I got some names, times, locations, and went from there. There a lot of great books: Black Elk Speaks, Blue Jacket, Little Crow, Saga of Chief Joseph, Geronimo: My Life. There's the poetry and music of Joy Harjo, and Supaman. And fiction too, like The Education of Little Tree. And don't underestimate how much information is available on the internet. You can find what tribes live(d) in your area, and learn their history. There's so much out there, but we have to search for it. And they are Americans. What happened to their ancestors shaped our country today. This is crucial, if you want to know who we are.

  2.  @nanaj8812  Yes! I read Dee Brown's book. I have Stephen E. Ambrose's book 'Crazy Horse and Custer." Ambrose is one of my favorite writers, and this book looks at the lives of both those men, as it leads to Little Big Horn. It's the only one I have on Crazy Horse, though. So I will definitely check out your recommendation.
